Slow Cooker Vintage Ham and Potato Dinner is stick to your ribs good! Smoky ham, potatoes and green beans in a cheesy sauce, what could be better?
Hi all! Welcome to another edition of Slow Cooker Vintage Recipe of the month. I found this recipe in my Amish-Country Cookbook. The version in the cookbook for this recipe wasn’t a crockpot recipe, but I easily converted it to the slow cooker. I love looking through my old cookbooks and finding recipes that can be altered a bit to be made in the slow cooker. This one does great. There is plenty of cheesy sauce to keep everything moist. The six hours of cooking time melds all the flavors together, you can taste the smoky ham in the sauce. Also, the potatoes get fork-tender, and the ham even gets tender too.
Have a great week. I hope you give this recipe a try, it’s a keeper!

I used taco bell cheese and it turned out fantastic definitely going to add this to my regular rotation of recipes.
How would I do this is the oven?
Hi! I don’t test my recipes in the oven so I can’t say with certainty.
This was great. All in one pot.
We made this for Easter dinner. Up to the time we added the cheese it tasted great. But – after we added the cheese it turned salty. All we could taste was the salt from the cheese. We were so disappointed after waiting all that time and we were not able to enjoy it. Too bad.
Don’t add any salt. There is more than enough in the canned soup.
This was excellent added some garlic bread.
Hello,
I am trying this recipe later this week. I was wondering if I could use frozen green beans or would that add too much water?
Also, could I cook this on high for 4 hours? My crockpot doesn’t have a 6 hour low setting. (There is a 6 hour high one though.)
Thanks
Great recipe to use left over ham. I used mushroom soup and corn becuase I didn’t have cream of chicken or beans. My kids don’t like onions so that didn’t go in. I really like how versatile your recipes are!! I use my crockpot at least twice a week and love using your recipes. They always turn out even when I have to substitute or take something out.
Thank you!!!!
Is the ham cooked already?
Most ham in the US is precooked and is actually safe to eat raw (read the label on yours). Yes, it’s cooked packaged ham. 🙂
